IIRC you can choose whether Win2k/XP uses FAT or NTFS. The default for a
new install is NTFS, so you're partly correct. You can check what you
use by the output of 'mount' (if this partition is mounted at all).

There are (commercial?) tools to have r/w support for NTFS (and I am not
talking about the crippled write support from the mainstream kernel).
But I don't know whether any distributor includes one of these by
default. Debian doesn't. Reading has never been a problem.
